This review paper presents an overview of simulation-based hydrodynamic design
optimization of ship hull forms. A computational tool that is aimed to accomplishing early …

Hydrodynamic optimization of the hull forms can be realized through the implementation and
integration of computational tools that consist of a hydrodynamic module, a hull surface …

Abstract The Neumann–Michell (NM) theory–a practical linear potential flow theory–is
applied to four freely-floating ship models (Wigley, S60, DTMB5415, KCS), assumed to …

A practical method to account for the influence of sinkage and trim on the drag of a freely
floating (free to sink and trim) common monohull ship at a Froude number F≤ 0.45 is …

Abstract The Fourier–Kochin representation of the oscillatory part of the flow pressure at the
hull surface of a ship that travels at a constant speed in calm water of large depth–and the …

This study considers the core issue of evaluating flows created by general distributions of
sources and dipoles over panels (typically flat/curved triangles/quadrilaterals) used to …

The boundary-integral flow-representation associated with the boundary-value problem,
commonly called Neumann–Kelvin (NK) problem, that corresponds to linear potential flow …

Abstract The classical Neumann–Kelvin (NK) linear potential flow theory of ship waves in
calm water and the related Neumann–Michell (NM) theory are considered. Five alternative …

The Neumann-Michell linear potential flow theory of the short farfield waves created by a
ship that advances at a constant speed in calm water is coupled with nonlinear analytical …

The basic issue of formulating a linear flow model for the analysis of potential flow around a
ship advancing at a constant speed in regular waves is considered. Specifically, the 'rigid …
